THE INCREDIBLES

Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), and other colorfully costumed characters star in 2004's The Incredibles, which looks to be merely another fast-paced superhero epic, albeit more kid-friendly. But, because writer-director Brad Bird caters to no certain audience, this one-of-a-kind children's picture is also adult-oriented in its treatment of its characters and the themes that influence their lives.

The Incredibles is presented as the modern American family that is expected to conform to the societal status quo (i.e. blend in with the bland) rather than champion its own uniqueness. While the majority of the comic relief comes from costume designer Edna Mode, an Edith Head caricature voiced by Bird himself, the drama comes from The Incredibles. Domestic disputes sparked by their suburban apathy give way to an acknowledgment of their uniqueness and, as a result, the ability to combine their resources as both criminals and family members. It's touching without being too sweet, and it's just one of the many reasons why The Incredibles is frequently, well, extraordinary.
